I have an almost 11-year-old German Shepherd who can barely walk and this happened overnight. He is turning his legs in and can't keep them straight. He won't eat this morning, and his back legs won't hold him. He is shaking badly and made a mess on the floor out of fear. His eyes are normal, but his front legs are working more normally than his back legs, which seem partially paralyzed. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog Rusty, aged approximately 7 years, has been experiencing diarrhea since the second day of a five-day cross-country trip from Ohio to Washington. He ate some pizza given by my brother and has been on a bland diet of chicken and rice, along with Imodium for diarrhea and Pepto-Bismol. Despite these measures, he still has diarrhea, though less severe, and eats very little. What should I do?

My 88-year-old neighbor's 9-year-old terrier mix, Henry, ate a small part of a stuffed toy. He weighs 12 pounds and the piece he ate was about 1" x 1/2". Henry is now crying in pain and has eaten his dinner but is still uncomfortable. What should I do for him?

My Dachshund, Lai, is dragging his hind legs for the past 2 days. He was fine before and there was no trauma. He is eating okay. What could be the issue and what should I do?
